Most people associate canning with earlier generations, but the simple process is making a comeback as more people grow their own fruits and vegetables — then realize they can’t eat everything fast enough.

There are several methods for canning including boiling-water canning and pressure canning.

Chris Duncan, family and consumer sciences agent for the Oldham County Extension Service, said safety is key when canning.

Improperly canned foods can cause botulism, a deadly form of food poisoning.

A full day of family-friendly entertainment is planned Sept. 8 for the Crestwood Festival.

The Maples, a sprawling property between Ky. 22 and Ky. 146 near Dairy Queen in Crestwood, will bustle with vendor booths, games and live performances, including featured bands Hog Operation and The Monarchs.

High-flying pancakes will kick off the festival as John Young brings his Chris Cakes equipment to serve breakfast from 9 to 11 a.m.
